Boys & Girls All Sports Camp

At St. Mary’s All-Sports Camp, children have fun, make new friends, and discover new talents in a safe, comfortable environment. Campers are gently encouraged to develop confidence and self esteem while learning new athletic skills. A week at the All-Sports Camp is a unique, character building experience that will produce life-long camp memories. Our philosophy is that camp should be fun. While having fun children can learn qualities such as sportsmanship, fair play, and that each person is unique and should be treated with respect and kindness. Camp counselors serve as role models for campers and build positive relationships between counselor and camper. St. Mary’s All-Sports Camp is an exciting youth summer camp where girls and boys come to develop athletic ability and learn important life skills through a wide variety of activities and experiences.

Girls Dance/Cheer Camp

The Cheerleading Camp at St. Mary’s is designed to enhance a child’s self confidence and enthusiasm in a fun, low pressure environment. Cheers are developed through the teaching of fundamentals such as tumbling, jumps, dance and exercise. The girls will be given a great opportunity to experience working together as a team. The session concludes with a performance at the end of the week allowing the girls to show off their new skills. St. Mary’s Cheerleading Camp is staffed with top quality instructors. Coach Jen O’Reilly has years of experience as both a cheerleader and dancer. She was captain of her Varsity Cheerleading Team at Westhampton High School and was also a member of the Dance/Kickline Team at St. Joseph’s College. She is formerly the Cheerleading Coach at St. Mary’s and also works as a dance instructor at North Shore Performing Arts Center. Taylor LaMacchia will be assisting with this year’s program. Our talented staff is committed to helping your daughter achieve her personal best.

Boys & Girls Basketball Camp

The primary objective of the fundamental Basketball Camp is to develop the player. This is accomplished by teaching fundamental skills in group and individual instruction, daily lectures, drills and one-on-one instruction. The program design, led by boy’s varsity basketball Coach Lloyd Desvigne will maximize learning while giving each camper an enjoyable and memorable experience. All campers are grouped according to age, physical ability and experience. The fundamental Basketball Camp is perfect for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. No matter what your child’s skill level, the fundamental Basketball Camp’s goal is to improve your child’s game, advance and mature skills, and most importantly, provide a great camp experience.
